Infrared (IR) Connections

This mainboard features support for highly-sophisticated IR technology, which
allows bi-directional and cordless data transactions with other IrDA compliant
computers and peripheral devices using infrared as a medium. This transmission
is carried out in either Full Duplex Mode or Half Duplex Mode. The former
allows simultaneous data transmission and reception, while the latter disables the
reception when transmission occurs.
The I/O chipset on this mainboard features an IR interface that is fully compliant
with the IrDA standard. An IrDA device can be installed via a 9-pin D-type
connector in the rear panel of the computer which is linked by a cable to the
onboard IrDA pinhead, as shown in the illustration below.
The serial port COM2 on this mainboard is designed to be a IR compliant port. If
you wish to install the IR connection feature, you need to adjust the BIOS option
for high-speed performance. Please read page 56 of this manual.
